Hillary Wikileaks & Trump “issues” Collection

Gail had said:

Not sure where to put this. (Maybe start a Hillary Wikileaks page?)

Speech Flags (There are 80 pages of this stuff) so just a couple on China.

Well, given that for the next week or two wikileaks will be leaking a lot of stuff in the Hillary, and given that The Donald did locker room talk with an open microphone, and then given the debate tomorrow… that just seemed like a good idea.

So this is an “open comment” page for all things Wikileaks, Hillary, and Der Donald related, may we live through the next couple of weeks…

To start it off, a quote of a bit of what Gail has in that other comment:


Hillary Clinton Said She Warned China That If North Korea Continued Developing Its Missle Program, The US Would “Ring China With Missile Defense.”

“You know, we all have told the Chinese if they continue to develop this missile program and they get an ICBM that has the capacity to carry a small nuclear weapon on it, which is what they’re aiming to do, we cannot abide that. Because they could not only do damage to our treaty allies, namely Japan and South Korea, but they could actually reach Hawaii and the west coast theoretically, and we’re going to ring China with missile defense. We’re going to put more of our fleet in the area. So China, come on. You either control them or we’re going to have to defend against them.” [ Speech to Goldman Sachs, 2013 IBD Ceo Annual Conference, 6/4/13]

Hillary Clinton Said The Chinese “Have A Right To Assert Themselves” In The South China Sea But The US Needed To “Push Back” So They Don’t Get A Chokehold Over World Trade.“

[…]

It goes on from there…

I will just note in passing “don’t get a chokehold on world trade”? Well since they are well on their way to becoming all of “world trade” in manufactures (and then how far behind can financial products be?…) I don’t really see what difference it will make if they own the waters through which all their ships move carrying the bulk of all world trade… /sarc;

With that, here you have it: Open Season / Posting on the Friday Document Dumps and “Why in hades did he say that” and more…

Me? I’m busy making comfort food… we’re gonna need it, whoever wins…

    Thanks E.M.

    I notice the women at other sites agree with me the leaked billy bush – Trump conversation is a nothing burger. Men trash talk all the time. Also someone mentioned in California the open mic WITHOUT Donald’s knowledge it’s illegal. (2 person consent state same as NC.)

    It also opens wide the door on Hillary laughing about getting a rapist off who raped a 12 year old and put her in a coma for 5 days.

    Of course this is all about diverting attention from the emails.

    This is the funniest so far.

  2. Larry Ledwick says:

    Interesting polling analysis on the current “joke on a bus” scandle
    Seems Trump dropped slightly but Hillary actually dropped more so he had a net gain.

    Seems climate scientists are not the only targets of the censors.

  4. Gail Combs says:

    This one I think is very very important because it makes it clear that both the Bush family and Obummer are Globalists and the anti-Russia talk is because Putin refuses to get on board. Also don’t forget that Putin tossed George Soros and his Open Society agitators out.

    It is rather long so here are some of the meaty parts.

    Strobe Talbott’s talk at Occidental last week. Vladimir Putin vs. the 21st Century
    Strobe Talbott President of the Brookings Institution

    2014-04-28 12:02
    …the boss in the Kremlin today: Vladimir Putin. He, like Khrushchev, has a reckless streak. Here’s a relevant footnote to his biography. In the second half of the 1980s, in the twilight of the Soviet era, Putin was helping run a network of spies from the KGB station in Dresden, East Germany. He held the relatively modest rank of lieutenant colonel. Why? Because his superiors didn’t want to promote him further because they judged him to suffer from, and I quote, “a lowered sense of danger.” That is, he was seen to be the opposite of risk-averse, someone who would take risks that might harm his country’s interests. But that didn’t stop him from becoming the most powerful Kremlin leader since Stalin. How that happened is a bizarre story itself….

    Six years later, in 2005, when Putin was president, I participated in a bipartisan task force sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations that assessed the state and trend of U.S.-Russian relations. The group’s report concluded that they were, and I quote, “clearly headed in the wrong direction… Contention is crowding out consensus.”….

    Without Russia, it’s hard to imagine an international system of the kind we need. Russia is eighth in the world in the trade of merchandise, hence an important member of the W.T.O. It’s got more nuclear weapons than any country, including ours; hence it’s essential to arms control. It’s the fourth largest emitter of carbon (after China, the U.S. and India), so it’s won’t be possible to mitigate the effects of climate change without Russia as part of the effort. With 195 nations on the planet, the world needs a G-20 as an unofficial but effective board of directors, just it needs a UN Security Council that can live up to its name by reaching compromises in support of global security. In all these functions, Russia can be a facilitator or it can be a spoiler. Vladimir Putin is now, big-time, in spoiler mode. That’s in large measure because his popularity at home has almost doubled, to 80% approval.….

    it was not until this past winter’s Ukrainian uprising against the corrupt, brutal Yanukovich dictatorship this past winter that Putin decided to go for broke by invading Ukraine and conquering Crimea. Now let’s look ahead and assess the global significance of Putinism. In a nutshell, it jeopardizes the progress the world as a whole has made in recent decades to put in place an international system based on integration, cooperation, and partnership.

    That last word – partnyorstvo – is especially important and has an interesting etymology. It was introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev into the vocabulary of U.S.-Soviet relations 25 years ago, in 1989, much as he’d introduced glasnost and perestroika into the vocabulary of Soviet internal reforms (and example of how Russian domestic reforms tend to be accompanied by some version of détente with the outside world). Boris Yeltsin made partnership a motto of post-Soviet Russian foreign policy. Partnership was personal in the relations between Gorbachev and George Herbert Walker Bush; then between Yeltsin and Bill Clinton. All four of those presidents, two Russians and two Americans, agreed on the need for what Bush called “a new world order.” In essence, what they had in mind was a system — with buy-in from all the major powers — that respected the sovereign right of individual states to govern themselves while collaborating through international institutions to deal with challenges that can only be met through global cooperation….

    How long Putinism lasts is overwhelmingly up to the Russian people themselves, of course. But it will pass more quickly if there’s a forceful voice, backed by national and international resolve, to oppose it. The obvious – and perhaps the only – candidate for that role is Oxy’s most famous alumnus, and our 44th president. Barack Obama is a personification of globalization of the world – and the globalization of America itself….

    This one raised an eyebrow

    Meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif.

    8. He spent a good deal of time discussing Saudi Arabia. He said since his first days in office he has sought a dialogue, but Iranian overtures have been rebuffed. He was told by the Saudis, “leave the Arabs to ourselves”. He recounted that he left the World Economic Forum immediately and made the long trip to Saudi Arabia for the funeral of King Abdullah. But he received barely a handshake for his efforts. Saudi Arabia also sees relations with Iran as a zero sum game. The Saudis think ISIS can help them against Iran. Iran has sent a new Ambassador to Saudi Arabia who they trust, and he hopes this will help the relationship.

    Statement from some billionaire supporters of Trump, that they are sticking with him.

    http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/10/08/gop-donors-robert-rebekah-mercer-stand-donald-trump/

    Someone should collect a bunch of those media out takes of locker room talk by media as a counter point to their faux outrage over Trumps comments.

    I also agree with the comment about taping, if it is abhorrent to undercover tape Planned Parenthood doctors talking about ripping babies apart so that they can sell their organs, or do under cover taping of Acorn to uncover corruption than why does that not apply to the disclosure of these open mike comments?

    Unfortunately a lot of these emails you have to roll through a lot of article writing to find staff feedback writing. There is half dozen in this one, but it is the whole script every word to get the voter vibe.

    On Feb 2, 2015, at 9:41 AM, Mandy Grunwald wrote: I think this piece turned out well. But when we define our goals, we have to be clear that we are concerned with helping people who are getting crushed by rising costs and stagnant incomes, not that we’re worried about offending high income groups (our donors). My guess is that this sentence will cause us some problems on the left.

    They are discussing/approving which wording is best “average” citizen (decided no, no one wants to be average )

    On Feb 1, 2015, at 6:54 PM, Nick Merrill wrote: Ran the quote past HRC and she asked (with no prompting) that “average” come out. So here’s what I shipped off to Peter Nicholas at the Journal.

    There can be not doubt that the US MSM is now as bad as Pravda after reading these e-mails.

  8. Jeff says:

    Could the “locker room” tape be some sort of odd payback for Trump knocking Jeb out of the race? And why did it take 10-11 years for this tape to surface (let alone the fact it was probably done without the consent of the parties involved)? Could it have something to do with one of the “videoees” being a Bush, and G.H.W. Bush having just thrown his support to Hillary?

    Something doesn’t seem right here. The Democrats have gone REALLY low with this one…

    I’ve heard far worse, erm, conversation where I work; moreover I’ve been told some of the exchanges in the ladies’ room make this sound like potty jokes from little kids…

    First a 21-year-old tax return, now an 11-year-old off-color remark, what next? A one-year-old parking ticket?

    I wonder if he has a recollection of this incident?

    @Jeff
    Trump may have gotten on everyone’s radar in 2003-04 when there was discussion of him running for president. If they thought it was a real possibility they would have started collecting Op research on him back then.

    http://www.tvguide.com/news/donald-trump-presidential-campaign-timeline/

    2003-2004: Trump begins hosting the reality show The Apprentice on NBC, which he also executive-produces. He again mulls a run for president, but ultimately decides not to join the race.

    March 2011: A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows Trump leading all presidential contenders, including Mitt Romney.

    Given one of the players in that video is a Bush your suggestion has merit, although I have not watched it in detail to see if Billy Bush was leading the discussion and steering Trump into such a gaff.
    As I recall he was responding to questions.

    This item also suggests Billy Bush “prodded” Trump into that line of talk, so not just my recollection.
    Given this is CNN they would of course prefer a spin that injures the Bush family too.

  15. gallopingcamel says:

    Clinton can’t win on the issues so she creates distractions aided and abetted by the “Media”. The latest distraction is so effective that I suspect that Trump is the architect. It is already beginning to backfire.

    The “Media” and the RINOS created a perfect storm that boils down to “Trump must step down”. Trump responds “Never” thereby energizing his followers to savage the “Media” and the RINOS in equal measure.

    The “Media” selected John McCain as the GOP candidate in 2008. It is only fitting that McCain should be a player in the Media/RINO meltdown.

  16. gallopingcamel says:

    The second presidential debate is going to be worth watching simply because Donald Trump will be there. You have to love this “Non-apology”:

    The above video may be a preview of a more aggressive approach by Trump tomorrow. How effective will it be given that he is opposed by Hillary Clinton and two “Moderators”? You can be sure that the “Media” will award Hillary both ears and the tail. In spite of that the poll numbers will not shift in her favor.

  18. gallopingcamel says:

    Paul Ryan just put his political future on the line. He thinks that Trump is going to lose and that will make him the GOP nominee in 2020. Ryan, Rubio and McCain still don’t get it. By stabbing Trump in the back they are showing that they can’t be trusted and they don’t respect the voters who selected Trump.

    These people are dishonourable RINOs. If they have a shred of integrity left they will change their political affiliation to Democrat.

  19. Larry Ledwick says:

    There is already a stream of blow back photos showing up on twitter of folks who are going ballistic about Trump, showing them doing similar things. I am sure there are a bunch of Reddit kids out there combing through videos and images right now.

    Pictures like some of the obscene T shirts about Palin which the left thought were so funny, one of Arnold Schwarzenegger fondling a dancer with his hands south of the line, and Cuomo checking out Christie Brinkley’s “equipment”, not to mention Hillary staring down Christina Aguilar’s cleavage.

    As mentioned above a lot of Rino’s are black balling themselves with a large segment of the electorate with their holier than thou comments and fake outrage. Many of them have a reputation like Hillary of swearing like a sailor and being very crude when off stage.
    They should have mirrored Trump’s apology and then turned the question back to the Left’s hypocrisy given some of the vicious innuendo and slander campaigns they have run in past elections especially against conservative women.

    CLINTON: You just have to sort of figure out how to — getting back to that word, “balance” — how to balance the public and the private efforts that are necessary to be successful, politically… I mean, politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody’s watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.

    *Clinton Said That The Blame Placed On The United States Banking System For The Crisis “Could Have Been Avoided In Terms Of Both Misunderstanding And Really Politicizing What Happened.”*
    “That was one of the reasons that I started traveling in February of ’09, so people could, you know, literally yell at me for the United States and our banking system causing this everywhere. Now, that’s an oversimplification we know, but it was the conventional wisdom…. And I think that everybody was desperately trying to fend off the worst effects institutionally, governmentally, and there just wasn’t that opportunity to try to sort this out, and that came later.” [Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13]

    “Now, it’s important to recognize the vital role that the financial markets play in our economy and that so many of you are contributing to. To function effectively those markets and the men and women who shape them have to command trust and confidence, because we all rely on the market’s transparency and integrity. So even if it may not be 100 percent true, if the perception is that somehow the game is rigged, that should be a problem for all of us, and we have to be willing to make that absolutely clear. And if there are issues, if there’s wrongdoing, people have to be held accountable and we have to try to deter future bad behavior, because the public trust is at the core of both a free market economy and a democracy.” [Clinton Remarks to Deutsche Bank, 10/7/14]

    *CLINTON SUGGESTS WALL STREET INSIDERS ARE WHAT IS NEEDED TO FIX WALL STREET* *Clinton Said Financial Reform “Really Has To Come From The Industry Itself.” *
    “Remember what Teddy Roosevelt did. Yes, he took on what he saw as the excesses in the economy, but he also stood against the excesses in politics. He didn’t want to unleash a lot of nationalist, populistic reaction. He wanted to try to figure out how to get back into that balance that has served America so well over our entire nationhood. Today, there’s more that can and should be done that really has to come from the industry itself, and how we can strengthen our economy, create more jobs at a time where that’s increasingly challenging, to get back to Teddy Roosevelt’s square deal. And I really believe that our country and all of you are up to that job.” [Clinton Remarks to Deutsche Bank, 10/7/14]

    Brian Fallon is press secretary for Hillary Clinton.
    This is prepping reporters on what to ask Clinton Re: BS and guns
    (John Anzalone is a pollster)

    …Circling back around on guns as a follow up to the Friday morning discussion: the Today show has indicated they definitely plan to ask bout guns, and so to have the discussion be more of a news event than her previous times discussing guns, we are going to background reporters tonight on a few of the specific proposals she would support as President – universal background checks of course, but also closing the gun show loophole by executive order and imposing manufacturer liability….

    Imposing manufacturer liability is what shutdown the small plane manufacturing in the USA. Hillary Darn well KNOWS what the results of imposing manufacturer liability would be.

    In 1994 when GARA was signed into law by US President Bill Clinton, airplane shipments had declined 95 percent from the previous decade and the industry had lost over 100,000 jobs. Cessna Aircraft Company, the largest general aviation manufacturer in the world, had stopped making single-engine piston airplanes. Piper Aircraft Company was in bankruptcy and Beech Aircraft had shut down most of its piston production lines. A review of all the lawsuits defended by one company over a ten year period found that the NTSB had not attributed the cause of these accidents to design defects. Yet, that company had paid nearly US$535,000 per accident in litigation costs…..

    “By placing a practical limit on product liability exposure, Congress literally brought the light aircraft industry back to life.” — Russ Meyer, Chairman Emeritus, Cessna Aircraft Company

    Hillary Clinton Said The “Saudis In Particular Are Not Necessarily The Stablest Regimes That You Can Find On The Planet.”

    “So mutually assured destruction as we had with Europe in the ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s until the fall of the Soviet Union is much harder to do with the gulf states and it will be unlikely to occur because they will think that they have to defend themselves. And they will get into the business of nuclear weapons, and these are—the Saudis in particular are not necessarily the stablest regimes that you can find on the planet. So it’s fraught with all kinds of problems.” [ Speech to Goldman Sachs, 2013 IBD Ceo Annual Conference, 6/4/13]

    Clinton Said Most Muslims Were Peaceful, But “We Can’t Close Our Eyes To The Fact That There Is A Distorted And Dangerous Strain Of Extremism” Spreading Within The Muslim World. “And I want to be clear, Islam itself is not the adversary. The vast majority of Muslims living here in Canada and the United States are peaceful and tolerant people. We see that every day in our neighborhoods, among those with whom we go to school or work or trade. But we can’t close our eyes to the fact that there is a distorted and dangerous strain of extremism within the Muslim world that continues to spread.” [Hillary Clinton Remarks for tinePublic – Saskatoon, Canada, 1/21/14]

    Clinton Discussed Lack Of Institutions In Libya After Gaddafi’s Fall. “Now, you know, in Libya, the United Nations voted how to protect civilians. And the coalition that was put together was unprecedented. It was NATO plus the Arab League. That had never happened before. The over flights, the boat, air, sea and land efforts included Arab nations as well as Europeans, Canadians and Americans. Khadafy was told but then, you know, the lid was taken off. You have a country that had been under the thumb of Khadafy and his henchmen for 42 years. All institutions were destroyed. There was not even a military because he didn’t trust anybody since he had been a Colonel who had done a coup, so he had mercenaries, there were African mercenaries and some European mercenaries that were in his direct pay. They had really just conducted themselves as if the entire Libyan oil fortune was personally theirs.” [Clinton Remarks At Boston Consulting Group, 6/20/13]

    Clinton Said Libya Could Not Provide Security “As We Found Much To, You Know, Our Terrible Experience In Benghazi.” “So what happened? Well, Khadafy is gone. They start to organize. They had one of the best elections that any of these new countries had. They did not elect extremists. They had a very good outcome of people representing the various factions, but they didn’t, they don’t have a military. They can’t provide security as we found much to, you know, our terrible experience in Benghazi, but we see it all over the country. So the jury is out but it is not for lack of trying by the people who have inherited the positions of responsibility.” [Clinton Remarks At Boston Consulting Group, 6/20/13]

    Clinton: “My Biggest Regret Is The Loss Of Our Four Americans In Benghazi With The Attack On Our Mission, Our Post There.” “My biggest regret is the loss of our four Americans in Benghazi with the attack on our mission, our post there. It wasn’t a consulate. That was  I knew the ambassador. I had sent him there. I had picked him as someone during the Libyan revolution to actually go to Benghazi, because he understood Libya, he spoke great Arabic and French. And he built relationships with a lot of the local people. And of course it was just devastating that there was this attack on our post and on our CIA annex, which I can talk about now, because it’s all been made public. And that the kind of reliability that governments have to count on from the governments in which they operate, like we’re responsible for the security ultimately of every embassy in Washington. Well, the Libyan government has no capacity to deliver and the people that we had contracted with were incapable or unwilling to do it. So that was a deep regret. And you learn from these events, just as we have over the last 30-plus years, where embassies have been attacked or taken over, or the terrible events in Beirut in 1983-84. You learn from them, but it always comes down to this very hard choice, should American civilians be in dangerous places?” [Remarks at Cisco, 8/28/14]

    Now compare the B.S. Hillary was spouting to this. Actually I was looking for the Judicial Watch info about the DOD offering military support to ambassador Stevens BEFORE the attack and Hillary ignoring the many many emails from ambassador Stevens frantically asking for beefed up security.

    To put it bluntly Hillary is an accessory before the fact…

    Judicial Watch: Defense, State Department Documents Reveal Obama Administration Knew that al Qaeda Terrorists Had Planned Benghazi Attack 10 Days in Advance
    Administration knew three months before the November 2012 presidential election of ISIS plans to establish a caliphate in Iraq

    Administration knew of arms being shipped from Benghazi to Syria

    (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained more than 100 pages of previously classified “Secret” documents from the Department of Defense (DOD)and the Department of State revealing that DOD almost immediately reported that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was committed by the al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood-linked “Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman” (BCOAR), and had been planned at least 10 days in advance. Rahman is known as the Blind Sheikh, and is serving life in prison for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terrorist acts. The new documents also provide the first official confirmation that shows the U.S. government was aware of arms shipments from Benghazi to Syria. The documents also include an August 2012 analysis warning of the rise of ISIS and the predicted failure of the Obama policy of regime change in Syria.

    The documents were released in response to a court order in accordance with a May 15, 2014, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against both the DOD and State Department seeking communications between the two agencies and congressional leaders “on matters related to the activities of any agency or department of the U.S. government at the Special Mission Compound and/or classified annex in Benghazi.” ….

    “These documents are jaw-dropping. No wonder we had to file more FOIA lawsuits and wait over two years for them. If the American people had known the truth – that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other top administration officials knew that the Benghazi attack was an al-Qaeda terrorist attack from the get-go – and yet lied and covered this fact up – Mitt Romney might very well be president. And why would the Obama administration continue to support the Muslim Brotherhood even after it knew it was tied to the Benghazi terrorist attack and to al Qaeda? These documents also point to connection between the collapse in Libya and the ISIS war – and confirm that the U.S. knew remarkable details about the transfer of arms from Benghazi to Syrian jihadists,” stated Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president. “These documents show that the Benghazi cover-up has continued for years and is only unraveling through our independent lawsuits. The Benghazi scandal just got a whole lot worse for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.”

    Judicial Watch has a lot more such as this

    From your link:

    Tragically, that’s not even scratching the surface in terms of the NUMBER of immigration-disaster subjects. For example, there’s no mention of anything from widespread political extremism and rampant Muslim anti-Semitism, to gay bashing and the ultraviolent mass grooming of white girls by Muslim men in Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, etc. (much more about that at a later date), to mention just a few items on an laundry list running from here to hell.

    I assume that “mass grooming” he means rape. Here it is:

    Child grooming is a term which describes the following situation. When an adult becomes friends with a child, this is sometimes done for a reason. The reason is to lower the inhibitions of the child and to prepare for sexual abuse. So, action taken by an adult to form a trusting relationship with a child, with the intent of later having sexual contact, is ‘child grooming’.[1]

    The act of grooming a child may include activities that are legal, but later lead to sexual contact. The grooming is done to gain the child’s trust, and the trust of those responsible for the child. Children are less likely to report a crime if it involves someone the child knows, trusts, and cares about. Also, a relationship with the family means the child’s parents will be less likely to believe any accusations.

    Judicial Watch: New Benghazi Email Shows DOD Offered State Department “Forces that Could Move to Benghazi” Immediately – Specifics Blacked Out in New Document

    “They are spinning up as we speak.” U.S. Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 7:19 PM

    (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released a new Benghazi email from then-Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash to State Department leadership immediately offering “forces that could move to Benghazi” during the terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. In an email sent to top Department of State officials, at 7:19 p.m. ET, only hours after the attack had begun, Bash says, “we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.” The Obama administration redacted the details of the military forces available, oddly citing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemption that allows the withholding of “deliberative process” information.

    Bash’s email seems to directly contradict testimony given by then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta before the Senate Armed Services Committee in February 2013. Defending the Obama administration’s lack of military response to the nearly six-hour-long attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Panetta claimed that “time, distance, the lack of an adequate warning, events that moved very quickly on the ground prevented a more immediate response.”

    The first assault occurred at the main compound at about 9:40 pm local time – 3:40 p.m. ET in Washington, DC. The second attack on a CIA annex 1.2 miles away began three hours later, at about 12 am local time the following morning (6 p.m. ET), and ended at approximately 5:15 a.m. local time (11:15 p.m. ET) with a mortar attack that killed security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty…..

    Zero Point Energy is real. The amount that can be currently collected at any point in space is so small as to be laughable.

    And the “Dark Matter” theory appears to be currently in dispute. Possibly either measurement error or misinterpretation. “Dark Energy” may go the same way.

    It would be nice if politicians had a feel for physics. But they probably wouldn’t be politicians then would they?

    I would think that there is a store of these items held over the head of everyone in public life. To keep them in line. It would certainly explain some totally contrary behaviors from the SCOTUS to senate voting. But we are now seeing panic break out as Trump is taking no notice presumably of the threat followed by the actuality. All the political wussies like Ryan are running for the hills as this will probably get worse. The elite are really threatened and that could mean that there is something bigger hidden in a back cupboard that is more disconcerting than a real skeleton. This is why we see Bush (saying he will be) voting for Clinton obviously accepting an activist supreme court damaging the country and constitution for decades is better than what they expect to happen to their elite if Trump is elected. Truly “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. ” perhaps we will get to find out what is panicking the elites.

    A comment on one of the Trump responses from Dr. Ben Carson.
    This comment appeared in a local news paper “The Advocate” but not completely sure where that paper is located, although a little facebook cruising on the original commentators page makes me think it is a student newspaper in Albuquerque New Mexico.

    Millions of trump supporters feel this way about Donald J. Trump…..

    “We don’t care if the guy swears… or how many times he’s been married…or who he voted for, or what his income tax return shows. We want the problems fixed. Yes he’s an egomaniac, but we don’t care. We know he’s not a racist, or bad to women, or all the other things the liberal media is trying to label him with. We know he’s raised a good family, and that says a lot about him.

    The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere and Muslims are openly trying to hurt this country and make the civilized world adjust to them. We want it all fixed!

    We don’t care that Trump is crude, we don’t care that he has changed positions, we don’t care that he fights with Megan Kelly, Rosie O’Donnell, and so many of the elected establishment. We don’t care that Rubio, Ryan, the Bush’s, and so many other top old and new Republicans refuse to endorse him for their own selfish reasons, and we know what they are. We don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslim terrorists, we don’t care that he tried some businesses that didn’t work out.

    This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims, where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in, AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED. And TRUMP is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.

    We’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic and Republican Party. We’re angry about the Iran deal, the budget, treatment of Israel, military weakness, lobbyists, special interests, overpaid politicians with their self serving bills and back room deals, trade deals, loss of jobs, manipulated economic numbers, businesses fleeing, and even the phoney pay for play Clinton Foundation.

    Americans are no longer going to be fooled, and the movement is out to change the direction we’re taking. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him, and all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, he’s flexible, and he’s also not a politician. And he says he’ll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

    Public service has become elected greed. This may be our only chance to have a non-politician, despite his flaws, try and correct the mess, at least for 4 years. We must take the shot, because the consequences of putting Hillary Clinton in office are frightening. There is a tidal wave happening, and its going to overcome much of what’s happened to this country.”

    Oh yes. Remember Billy is a Bush cousin and Trump had ALREADY stated in 2011 he might run if things got too bad. Also at that time polls showed he was more popular as a candidate than Mittens Romney.

    So yeah, this was a set-up by good ole’ Billy. I would not be surprised to find Billy did a whole bunch of warmup and luring before hand hoping to get a juicy tape to save for this election cycle in case Trump decided to run.

    Larry Ledwick says “…Millions of trump supporters feel this way about Donald J. Trump….. “

    Yes, that is exactly it.

    We aren’t looking for a pastor or priest or minister for our local church. We are looking for a General Patton and we don’t care about anything except the fact he can lead us to victory.

    And yes I picked Patton, not only because he was one of Trump’s heroes (and he saved the Lippizzaner horses) but because of his character traits.
    http://www.inhisgraceinc.com/html/general_patton.html

    Patton was NOT a ‘comfortable man’ but his troops would follow him into he!! Patton died at the age of 65 as a result of an auto accident. Some think he was gotten rid of because of the type of man he was.

  46. Larry Ledwick says:

    Yes I have a book titled “Patton’s Principles” written by one of his junior commanders that uses short stories of his experience to illustrate how Patton led his troops and got what he wanted.

    He was very mission oriented, all things were subordinate to the commanders intent of the mission.
    Patton felt you should tell your people what you wanted them to accomplish then get the hell out of their way and let them find their own way of getting to that objective. I agree I see Trump as being very similar in work style. Results matter, methods — not so much.

    Flight time Naples where special forces were on standby to Benghazi on a routine not hurried flight would be ~ 1 hour 40 minutes. For top cover fighter aircraft around half that.

    From all that happened starting in Egypt and the ‘Gaza Convoys’ aka Freedom Flotilla with Obama’s friend Bill Ayres and being set up by Turkey. We see the destabilization of Syria, Gaza, Egypt, Lybia, Algeria and Morocco and attempt to put in place the Muslim Brotherhood with links to Erdogan in Turkey – looking very much like an attempt to return the Ottoman Empire, the old Caliphate under the warm and fuzzy name ‘Arab Spring’. This might be the reason for the rather vacillating support from Turkey for attacks on DA’ESH in the Levant, also trying to setup a Caliphate. They were seen by Obama as the junior league compared to an Istanbul led Caliphate. But it was all falling apart starting with Egypt being a little more secular than Obama and Hillary thought. All of this being fed by the extensive oil fields being found in the eastern Mediterranean hence Russian interest in Cyprus and Syria.

    The Great Game continues.

    Gail just a reminder we do not know absolutely who leaked these emails or what their agenda is. It is almost certain that some of them are cooked or outright fakes, so double checking on “apparent facts” is in order.

    I found this statement on twitter and thought it was worthy of inclusion here:

    We are at least 40% of the country. We might make up as much as 60%.
    The hoaxing media for years has run a psyop on the American People,
    making everyone who supports putting America first feel isolated and alone.

    If you watch the news, you’ll feel depressed and isolated. The psyop
    will become intensified, as the media intends to drop more “damaging”
    videos of Trump. Many of these videos were where Trump was “playing
    a role,” much like a pro wrestler. These videos are designed to demoralize
    you to keep you home on November 8th.

    General Vo Nguyen Giap led his people to victory in the Vietnam War, and he offers a lesson for all of us: “However great the military and economic potential of your adversary, it will never be great enough to defeat a people united in the struggle for their fundamental rights.”

    We are in a fight for our fundamental right to have a country.
    We are in a fight to have a press that doesn’t hoax the public.

    Our adversaries are many, and they are well-funded. But remember this. They are PAID to fight us. We fight for freedom. Like most of you, I am not taking a salary from any campaign and certainly not from the GOP.

    You can CHOOSE to give up, to feel demoralized, to feel afraid or defeated. Making this choice – and your feelings are a CHOICE – is giving in to the enemy.

    @ Gail

    I thought I had my eyes open but the depth and breadth of the corruption throughout this country astounds me.

    Sadly true. About the time I left working for the Office of Emergency Management I had an “accidental” conversation with one of the people I worked with who seemed pretty connected to the political structure. I made a joking comment and he took it seriously and out of context thinking I meant something else. He proceeded to tell me that minor ambassador ships were for sale for about $50,000 and someone he knew was angling to get one.

    I took it as “look at me” BS, now I believe he was 100% serious. The reason I left the state was because of how the political types were constantly maneuvering for political advantage rather than to protect the citizens of the state. They would rewrite disaster assessments and issue reports so as not to make the current governor look bad (circa 1987- on). It was appalling and a lot of good people self selected themselves like me to get out because they refused to be associated with what was happening.

    The final straw for me was they did a report on how western Colorado communities like Steam Boat Springs and near by Yampa County airport would handle a major jet crash (about the time of the Iowa crash of United flight 232) and shortly after the flight 1713 crash at Denver’s Stapleton airport (November 15, 1987).

    The report as written was that those small western slope communities would be totally over loaded as a result of the mass casualty incidents. (even though the emergency managers over there were working hard to stock pile resources. One small community was making lots of spare back boards out of plywood and stashing them for just such an event.)

    It was decided that it was embarrassing to admit that obvious truth so the report was re-written by officials out side our office to say it would be a challenge but they could handle it.

    At that time those small airports were handling 727-200s, MD-80, 737-200, 757-200, 767-200 and 737-700 class aircraft. With passenger seating for 130-150 persons. In the winter time (ski season) road conditions could make it exceedingly difficult to back stop them with out of the area resources, but that did not matter — we can’t embarrass the local political officials who said it would not be a problem.

    That was when my eyes first opened up to how much many senior political types suck and the stupid games they would play and screw their constituents.

    Which begs this question, What is “The Public Interest”?
    Seems to be an unbridgable gulf between those who pay and those who play.
    Like here in Canada, the interests of me taxpayer paying in excess of 50% of my income to a parasitic horde of fools and bandits….Are not the same as the guaranteed payroll,best class pensioned “Public Servants” who are bankrupting small business.
    Up here my fearless bureaucrats just activated legislation criminalizing being an employer.

    I already knew both parties were rotten to the core. I don’t see any solutions mentioned. Congress has the power to make laws not the President and history suggests the same bunch will be returned to run it. Neither Trump nor Hillary would be candidates I’d pick. Trump might just shake up the establishment a little bit, so has the edge.

    I haven’t heard him articulate any real plans to pull America out of economic stagnation. This would require a change in business culture such that gains from increased productivity get shared with the workers instead of the business owners keeping it all, with the result of wage stagnation for the last twenty years. It’s all very well talking about stopping manufacturing from moving abroad but it is too late. Too much has already done so. Think how little you buy these days that was made in America by an American company.

    The TEA Party was co-opted. It was originally a non-denominational movement against bigger government and higher taxes.

    And then for quite some time the “major” TEA organizations took on a heavy SoCon tinge. Social Conservatism is dying in America. Literally. It is an old folks home. The kids are less religious these days but are definitely anti-government. Out of my wallet, out of my bedroom, out of my smoking parlor.

    The critical error Social Conservatism made in the 1980s was allying itself with government. The “Moral Majority” was a huge mistake. With government making war heavily on 10% of the population for the last 45 years (it rotates as new generations get to experience it) there is now 58% (and rising) of the population against the government. And against the social conservatives who still support that war.

    They defeated themselves. Idiots.

    Look at how well the anti-abortion folks have done being independent of government. God help them if the get a Federal law.

    If the question is “what to do about xxx” and the answer is “we need a law” you are talking to a socialist.

    The look you get when you realize they just seated your rape victims in the front row…..

    And Melania adds the final touch by wearing a Gucci ‘Pussy-bow’ shirt.

    …………………

    After this expect the Globalists to get out their knives.

    I think Alex Jones is correct and they will haul out the 3 nameless adult women who were supposedly raped by Trump as teeny boppers on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ express. (Set-up by a NY Judge and her Reporter brother)

    They already tried it once and it flopped because the address was a vacant house.

    They pulled this on Herman Cain successfully the last time so there is every reason to expect them to use the same tactic quite close to the election so there is no time for recovery. Then they can rig the election even if Trump does win.

  91. Gail Combs says:

    Here is Alex Jones on the Pedophile setup to be launched against Trump in a day or two,

    The Federal Judge was appointed by Obama and recommended by the NY senator who took over from Clinton. GEE, no conflict of interest there.

    The video is over 6 hours. This segment is at ~40 mins 30 sec and only about 5 mins long (Alex drives me nuts so I won’t inflect him on you for longer than that.) I just want to help spike the guns of these syphilitic sons of she camels.

  92. philjourdan says:

    Coming in after the fact, a lot of information to digest. But what is most puzzling is the CNN setup posted by Larry. There is no law that says you have to do focus groups. It is actually to find out what had impact or not, and then to direct your campaign accordingly. It is doing the work of the campaigns. But when it is staged, that tells you nothing! It becomes your own echo chamber and does not resonate with anyone else.

    At least that is my take. What could possibly be the reason for it? I do not doubt it happens. But I fail to see the value in it. Indeed, it can only hurt in the long run if the “resonation” is only in your own head.

  93. Larry Ledwick says:

    @ philjourdan

    What could possibly be the reason for it? I do not doubt it happens. But I fail to see the value in it. Indeed, it can only hurt in the long run if the “resonation” is only in your own head.

    I believe they do it to falsely create the impression that what they want to happen is in fact true or to sell a meme to plant suggestions of talking points. People are much more likely to buy an idea if they think it originated with some average citizen than to be blatantly stated by some talking head.
    Much easier to sway people to do something if they believe they are “joining the crowd” by doing it. It is part of the whole false “everybody thinks she won” sales job they create by intentionally skewing the polls to show a response that is often directly opposed to the true facts on the ground.

    It is sort of like the situation where they drag you into the sales office after you say you want to buy a car and during the time you are negotiating a price and options you want, the sales manager sticks his head in the door and asks the salesman if he has closed the deal because he has another interested person on the line looking for the same car. Then it becomes well you better buy now or I will have to sell to this other guy – – do you want it?

  94. philjourdan says:

    Larry, What you are saying is that they are doing it for themselves. Those opposed to Trump are already going to glom onto any talking points, regardless of source. And the rest of the nation ignores them. So the MSM has become merely an egotistical echo chamber. They think they are relevant despite the polls showing that most of America does not give a whit about them and do not trust them as far as they can throw them.

    What this episode does do is expose the scam for what it is. Again, the ones opposed to Trump (and I am intentionally not saying liberals as I include the establishment of both parties in this) are going to deny it. Some others will ignore it. And the rest will just affirm that is what they knew all along.

  95. Larry Ledwick says:

    As an avid photographer I have noticed something about the recent discussion and comments asserting that Trump was “looming” over Hillary during the debates. First of all she is only 5′ 4″, Donald Trump is 6′ 2″, in size comparison there is now way to avoid that perception if the camera angle is correct.

    Now look at the two photos in this article:
    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/body-language-expert-says-trumps-lurking-a-pre-assault-indicator-i-was-really-getting-nervous/

    It was a set up shot, she intentionally walked over onto his side of the seating in the round stage so she was directly between him and the camera. From there perspective effects of the straight on shot with a long lens makes it look like he is only 3 feet behind her but it is really that “she” has positioned herself 5 ft in front of him in “his debate space” for a perfect down the throat shot from the closeup camera on that side of the stage.

    I would bet a lot of money that she was coached to do that during debate prep, I don’t recall Trump invading her debate space on her side of the stage in a similar manner. This setup was very reminiscent of Al Gores attempt to intimidate George Bush by crowding him during a debate.

  96. Gail Combs says:

    I linked to the Alex Jones marathon above and I have been slogging my way through it looking for any interesting bits. (See what I do for you guys? — At least Alex Jones and Roger Stone and Stefan Molyneux are of the Libertarian bent and can not stand the Clinton or the Bush tribe.)

    There is a Roger Stone interview between 3 hours 40min and 4 hours 12 min. Stone wrote the book The Clintons’ War on Women along with Robert Morrow so he has a lot of in-depth knowledge on Epstein and Epstein’s plane the “Lolita Express” He has actually looked at the passenger lists and Bill Clinton was on the plane numerous times but there is no listing for Trump.

    Epstein did try to snag Trump for a party but once he saw what was going on he retreated quickly (also discussed) The real crux of the matter is the planned bogus Pedophile Ambush based on Jane Does filing 22 years after the fact and an Obama appointed New York Judge.

    The key is the Statute of Limitations.

    link

    In New York, if you were sexually abused as a minor, you must file your lawsuit within 5 years of reaching the age of 18. If you wait until after age 23 you will not be permitted to sue your abuser and seek compensation. The statute of limitations for filing a sex abuse or negligence claim against a third party such as a school or a church is three years However, if the acts of negligence occurred when you were a minor, the time period expires 3 years after your 18th birthday, at age 21.

    In matters of child sex abuse, New York has one of the shortest statutes of limitations in the U.S.

    That means they have to go for the Federal Sex crimes — link like pornography, slavery, kidnapping and going across state lines.

    Sex Crimes Statute of Limitations

    Under the modern federal rules, prosecution, trial or punitive sanctions regarding noncapital federal offenses cannot be instituted if no indictment or entry of information has occurred within five years of the offense. (See Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, §3282 et subs.) However, it is important to understand that the statute of limitations for some sex crimes is regularly extended between 7 and 10 years or more, especially for cases involving minors.
    https://www.federalcharges.com/news/

    Cornell is the best place for the specifics of laws.
    Age matters over 12 years and over 16 years for minors.
    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2241

    Statute of Limitations:
    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3283
    Looks like age 25 is max:
    http://uscode.house.gov/statviewer.htm?volume=108&page=2149

    But that is contradicted by this:

    Sec. 202. No statute of limitations for child abduction and sex crimes.
    Sec. 203. No pretrial release for those who rape or kidnap children.

    https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-108publ21/html/PLAW-108publ21.htm

    So this will set Trump up for a real mess. And all that will matter is the allegations and the MSM shouting 24/7 for him to be immediately jailed with no time for defence.

    No wonder they have been looking so hard for a judge that could be bought!

    One of Alex Jones reporters who has looked at law cases several times said the paperwork, which was shown with ‘Jane Doe’ was really really weird looking.

    Hi Folks, Dan Rather here. I’m coming out of retirement to report this special CBS News bulletin.

    While a single fake but accurate memo from George W. Bush’s Air National Guard unit was enough to prove that he was unfit to be president, the thousands upon thousands of documents that prove Hillary Clinton’s corruption has the value of a dead possum on the side of a rural Texas highway.

    In other news, Hillary Clinton has announced that it was not true that Huma’s prayer rug would be located in the oval office if elected president. It will be in the East Room which has a better, unobstructed view of Mecca.

    Meanwhile, an employee at one of Donald Trump’s properties burned some popcorn in the microwave in the employee break room leaving a disgusting burnt smell throughout the office. Proving once again, that Donald Trump is unfit to be president.

    Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isn’t all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we’re off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his “George” magazine saw celebrity politics coming.

    The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I’m certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I’ve mentioned, we’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking – and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.

    Rubio’s press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just get to wave without a “hello.”

    I fear we are all now trying to navigate a set of forces that cannot be simply explained or fully understood, so it is and will reamin interesting! Sent with a handshake, Bill

While working for the Clinton administration Summers played a leading role in the American response to the 1994 economic crisis in Mexico, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the Russian financial crisis. He was also influential in the American advised privatization of the economies of the post-Soviet states, and in the deregulation of the U.S financial system, including the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act.
    Following the end of Clinton’s term, Summers served as the 27th President of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006. Summers resigned as Harvard’s president in the wake of a no-confidence vote by Harvard faculty…..

    Media Polling Fully Exposed – About That NBC/WSJ Clinton +11 Point Poll….
    The Real Battle, is The Battle For Your Mind

    It shows the usual vetted and tested psy-op phrase repeated by all the media “Clinton Double-digit lead” (After the RNC nomination the word was DANGEROUS)

    Never forget that the media’s job is to give PLAUSIBILITY to the election steal. If the ACTUAL polls, showing Trump with the Double-digit lead, were published, then there would be a revolt the day after the rigged election putting Hillary in the White House.

    We even say the Drudge report at 5:00 am after the debate with 90% thinking Trump won the debate. Most of the rest of the polls showed Trump at ~70% or better even the left leaning rags had Trump slightly ahead. But as soon as the work day hit the Hillary count really started spinning as the Clintonbots hit all the polls including Drudge.

    I think Matt is looking into the situation.

    If the USA had provided the support asked for by Stevens this would have happened:

    “…7. (Note: A source in Tripoli stated in confidence that when the U.S. Embassy was evacuated, the presence of two U.S. Navy jet fighters over the city brought all fighting to a halt for several hours, as Islamist forces were not certain that these aircraft would not also provide close ground support for moderate government forces.)…

    ….the advance of ISIL through Iraq gives the U.S. Government an opportunity to change the way it deals with the chaotic security situation in North Africa and the Middle East. The most important factor in this matter is to make use of intelligence resources and Special Operations troops in an aggressive manner, while avoiding the old school solution, which calls for more traditional military operations. In Iraq it is important that we engage ISIL using the resources of the Peshmerga fighters of the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), and what, if any, reliable units exist in the Iraqi Army. The Peshmerga commanders are aggressive hard fighting troops, who have long standing relationships with CIA officers and Special Forces operators. However, they will need the continued commitment of U.S. personnel to work with them as advisors and strategic planners….

    Do not forget these are the SAME people who think there are WAY too many people on the earth. The USA has already used ‘dirty bombs’ in the middle east.

    The conduct of secret nuclear wars since 1991, through the use of depleted uranium weaponry by the United States and Great Britain with their allies, has taken place in the Middle East, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan2 and Lebanon.3 It has been carried out for the express purpose of destroying the public health and mutilating the genetic future of vast populations in oil rich and/or pipeline regions.

    Carpet and grid bombing with depleted uranium weaponry in Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan has guaranteed permanent radioactive terrain contamination. The recent discovery that U.S. depleted uranium bombs dropped by Israel on Lebanon in 2006 contained enriched uranium4,5 suggests covert testing of fourth generation nuclear weapons.

    The United States and its allies are fully aware that this weaponry violates the Geneva and Hague Conventions and the 1925 Geneva Poison Gas Protocol.6 It meets the definition of WMD in the U.S. Code7 in two out of three categories. And its use violates U.S. military law.8 since the U.S. is a signatory to The Hague and Geneva Conventions…. link

    These are the SAME people who would not harden the US electric Grid against an EMP attack. (The bill failed) But have zero problem tossing gobs of money at useless Windmills and Solar panels.

    SUBCOMMITTEE ON CYBERSECURITY,
    INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION,
    AND SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES

    MAY 8, 2014 [43 pages]

    pg 12
    Dr. Peter Vincent Pry is the executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security, a Congressional advisory board dedicated to achieving protection of the United States from electromagnetic pulse and other threats. Dr. Pry is also the director of the United States Nuclear Strategy Forum, an advisory body to Congress on policies to counter weapons of mass destruction….

    STATEMENT OF PETER VINCENT PRY, CONGRESSIONAL EMP
    COMMISSION, CONGRESSIONAL STRATEGIC POSTURE COM-
    MISSION, AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE TASK FORCE
    ON NATIONAL AND HOMELAND SECURITY

    Natural EMP from a geomagnetic super-storm like the 1859 Carrington Event or the 1921 Railroad Storm, a nuclear EMP attack from terrorists or rogue states as practiced by North Korea during the nuclear crisis of 2013 are both existential threats that could kill 9 of 10 Americans through starvation, disease, and societal collapse.

    A natural EMP catastrophe or nuclear EMP attack could black out the National electric grid for months or years and collapse all the other critical infrastructures, communications, transportation, banking and finance, food and water, necessary to sustain modern society and the lives of 310 million Americans. Passage of the SHIELD Act to protect the National electric grid is urgently necessary. In 2010, after the House unanimously passed the GRID Act, if one Senator had not put a hold on the bill, today in 2014 the Nation would already be protected …..

    The single most important thing Congress could do to protect the American people from EMP and from all the other threats to critical infrastructures is pass the Critical Infrastructure Protect Act, which bill is soon or will be before this committee for consideration. Thousands of emergency planners and first responders at the Federal, State, and local level want to protect our Nation and their States and communities from the EMP threat, but they are seriously hindered and even prohibited from doing so because the EMP threat is not among the 15 canonical National planning scenarios utilized by the Department of Homeland Security.

    Passage of the Critical Infrastructure Protection Act would immediately mobilize thousands of emergency planners and first responders at all levels of government and educate millions of others about the EMP threat and how to prepare for it. Passage of the Critical Infrastructure Protection Act would immediately help States that are frustrated with the lack of action on EMP in Washington and are trying to launch initiatives protecting their electrical grids from EMP, as is being attempted now in Maine, Virginia, Oklahoma, and Florida. Passage of the Critical Infrastructure Protection Act would educate all States about the EMP threat and help them protect their critical infrastructures. For example, projects in New York and Massachusetts to harden their State grids against severe weather caused by climate change should include protection against an EMP event, which is the worst threat to the grid. If the grid is protected against EMP, it will mitigate all lesser threats, including cyber attack, sabotage, and severe weather.

    Given the amounts of money being spent in New York and Massachusetts on grid hardening against severe weather, significant EMP protection can probably be accomplished now within their current budgets, but the cost of EMP protection will increase significantly if they delay and attempt remediation later.

    EMP is a clear and present danger. A Carrington-class coronal mass ejection narrowly missed the earth in July 2012. Last April, during the nuclear crisis with North Korea over Kim Jong-Un’s threatened nuclear strikes against the United States, Pyongyang apparently practiced an EMP attack with its KSM–3 satellite that passed over the U.S. heartland and over the Washington, D.C.-New York City corridor. Iran, estimated to be within 2 months of nuclear weapons by the administration, has a demonstrated capability to launch an EMP attack from a vessel at sea. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy commenced patrols off the East Coast of the United States in February…..

    @Gail

    (Larry should read this whole email. It is long and I do not have the knowledge to understand what is actually being said about the military aspects.)

    Podesta actually gives pretty good advice there but it is time dependent and the window for that set of actions has long closed. As he noted and is shown in the movie 13 hours when they could not get clearance to provide kinetic (gun ships troops etc.) a request for an over flight by fighter jets was made to “put the fear of god” into the attackers since they would have no way of knowing if these were aircraft armed and authorize hot on weapons or just observation. At the right time something as simple as a pair of F-16’s or F-18’s doing a low altitude pass on full burner sends a pretty strong message but it only lasts for a limited time. Same goes for out actions agains ISIL, if in the early days before they over ran major Iraq units and were moving in the open in large convoys of technicals (ie armed pickup trucks) a single B-52 strike could have taken out hundreds of them and sent a very strong message of intent of the U.S. to deal with the situation.

    Bruce Lee in his writing about the art of combat talked about “a hit in time” meaning a fast sharp strike at just the right moment to disrupt an attack (like a sharp jab to the nose) as the opponent steps in to try to over whelm you with a strong attack. The hit in time in and of itself is not strong or powerful enough to cause much damage but it can completely change the psychology of the contest and disrupt timing giving you an opportunity to do something else.

    As I understand it to wash our hands of direct action we have sold billions of dollars of weapons to the Sunni (Salafi) Saudies and they in turn are shipping them into Syria. Given their political opposition to Iran, they are as often used against Iran forces opposed to the ISIL, and Syrian Rebel units as they are directly against ISIL. As a result you have a mishmash of small factions often with conflicted loyalties fighting for multiple different objectives. The result is basically protracted civil war. Meanwhile Russia in order to protect its warm water Mediterranean sea port and to re-establish its cold war period influence in the middle east has gone all in to protect Assad and his granting of base rights to them. It appears that they have decided that a controllable Turkish lead caliphate is preferable to an uncontrollable caliphate under ISIL control. By giving Erdogan a green light to serve his islamic interests and counter balance the ISIS influence in the region and a finger in the Iranian pie (nuclear reactor construction, technical assistance and general military coordination) it appears that they are willing to sacrifice that whole region from Syria, northern Iraq, and Iran to a bloody house cleaning to set up Erdogan as the defacto head of the new radical islam and future legitimate caliphate (ie re-creating the Ottoman empire – or at least the northern half of it from circa 1914)

    http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/map-ottoman-empire-1914

    That would not be totally irrational since the ottoman empire was stable for a long time but being an historical enemy of Russia they would rather have Turkey (on their side and at least influenced by them ) rather than NATO.

    I think Obama and HRC basically squandered a very small window for action and have given away the store in that part of the world. They basically burned down 60 year or so of efforts to establish modern reasonably secular democracies in the middle east. It will take a generation to fix this (if it even can be fixed). Basically we are now paying the price for arbitrary borders setup by the British after WWI when the new modern middle east countries were created out of the old Ottoman Empire.

  120. Larry Ledwick says:

    Sorry this is total BS

    The conduct of secret nuclear wars since 1991, through the use of depleted uranium weaponry by the United States and Great Britain with their allies, has taken place in the Middle East, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan2 and Lebanon.3 It has been carried out for the express purpose of destroying the public health and mutilating the genetic future of vast populations in oil rich and/or pipeline regions.

    Carpet and grid bombing with depleted uranium weaponry in Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan has guaranteed permanent radioactive terrain contamination. The recent discovery that U.S. depleted uranium bombs dropped by Israel on Lebanon in 2006 contained enriched uranium4,5 suggests covert testing of fourth generation nuclear weapons.

    There is a very good tactical reason for using depleted uranium penetrator ammunition and it has nothing to do with some evil plan. It is the application of very simple physics and ballistics principles.

    The ability of an anti tank munition to penetrate armor is directly related to the core material of the round. For a kinetic penetrator you need a long dense hard material to have good enough penetration to get to the interior of the tank. Depleted Uranium happens to have the characteristics to do this (plus a couple other weapons effects) and it is cheap (we have a lot of it as a result of nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel production.

    Unlike soft lead, depleted uranium is about as hard as mild steel, yet denser than lead (ie an ideal penetrator material on those grounds alone). It also has a self sharpening effect where on impact instead of smashing and expanding like lead, it breaks off pieces near the edge of the penetrator rod leaving a sharp point even after initial impact. It is also a pyrophoric metal, meaning that when finely powdered and heated is easily self ignites on ballistic impact forming a hot incendiary fire ball at the point of impact. It burns very hot like magnesium but also has the other useful characteristics that make it ideal for an armor penetrating round.

    They did not use depleted uranium because they were evil they used it because it was the absolutely best penetrator material available at the lowest possible cost. (they use tungsten rod penetrators in tank rounds but it is more expensive and does not provide the incendiary effects of depleted uranium, but the guns (being larger) have enough energy to drive it completely through the tank armor, where the smaller guns used in the A-10 needed the added terminal effects of the uranium and needed to be cheap since the shoot up thousands of rounds in a few seconds.

    When those rounds were designed they were looking for a way to stop massed Russian armor attacks considerations like a little natural uranium returned to the earth were it came from was not that big a deal, and they certainly were not worried about the late health effects on the tank crews due to the use of this material.

    “Sorry this is total BS”

    So is most of the the scary shite about EMP.

    The Soviets exploded the Tsar Bomba 50 megaton test on October 30, 1961 at a height of around four kilometres and caused next to zero disruption of electronic devices.

    Anyone worried about EMP needs to consider the inverse square law.

    As for DU, I saw a “Liberal” theory that depleted uranium bombs had been used to bring down the Twin Towers, their theory being that depleting it took all the radioactivity out, so when the bombs detonated, they left no radioactive fingerprint.

    Try explaining to them that it is less radioactive than cigarette ash, and that is also used for radiation shielding for isotope containers and as ballast for aircraft.

  126. Larry Ledwick says:

    The Soviets exploded the Tsar Bomba 50 megaton test on October 30, 1961 at a height of around four kilometres and caused next to zero disruption of electronic devices.

    EMP output is not highly correlated with total energy yield of the blast, it is the prompt gamma output of the device that determines the EMP effect (along with proper altitude of burst to take advantage of asymmetrical distribution of electric charge as that gamma radiation ionizes the atmosphere near the burst point.

    A height of 4 km is not high enough to produce significant EMP effects, it has to be detonated above about 100km for the ideal necessary unsymmetrical distribution of charge to create EMP.
    There is local EMP from any nuclear burst but at lower altitudes it is highly localized and totally overwhelmed by blast and thermal effects. From intermediate altitudes 20 km+ it is somewhat localized due to the short horizon distance illuminated by the EMP.

    As far as legitimate EMP tests the Soviet Union has a lot more live test data than we do because their nuclear tests were conducted over land. In some of their tests the had extraordinary damage from the tests. Burned down a power plant, caused surges in cables buried about a meter below the ground surface etc. With modern enhanced EMP designs (so called super EMP weapons the published fears are very real and appropriate)

    http://www.futurescience.com/emp/test184.html

    Note I was trained by FEMA to inspect Emergency Operations Centers and other installations for proper EMP protection (although the program was canceled when they realized they had a huge liability exposure for non-engineers giving recommendations on power and broadcast installations)

    Overpopulation: The Fallacy Behind The Fallacy Of Global Warming by Dr Tim Ball @ WUWT

    The Club of Rome 1972 book The Limits to Growth
    The Limits to Growth • Club of Rome

    The message of this book still holds today: The earth’s interlocking resources – the global system of nature in which we all live – probably cannot support present rates of economic and population growth much beyond the year 2100, if that long, even with advanced technology. In the summer of 1970, an international team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began a study of the implications of continued worldwide growth….

    Between 1969 and 1974 the world was having a grain crisis as documented in the 1974 CIA REPORT: A study of Climatological Reseach as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems

    This I think is what kicked off the concern about too many people among the elite.
    John Holdren, Obama’s Science Czar, says: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet
    Book he authored in 1977 advocates for extreme totalitarian measures to control the population

    And Holdren has never changed his stance.

    Then there is Pascal Lamy:
    Whither Globalization?

    You have to put together the bits and pieces, I really wish I had captured the quote from Carol Quigley that made it very very clear they think of us as ranchers think of livestock and have ZERO problems “culling the herd”

    If you do not believe this can happen I suggest you read: Democide, Death by Government the millions and millions of innocent people slaughtered by their own government

    Thus, the new world total: old total 1900-1999 = 174,000,000. New World total = 174,000,000 + 38,000,000 (new for China) + 50,000,000 (new for Colonies) = 262,000,000.

    Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5′, then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century….

    So yeah, I have zero problem believing that Hillary Clinton would get us into a really nasty war, probably with nukes. And I think George Soros and David Rockefeller are as sociopathic as she is.

    SO WHAT {insult deleted -Mod}?

  131. Gail Combs says:

    I only brought up the use of the Depleted Uranium to show they are not afraid to use it.

    If you look at the Chernobyl Accident – World Nuclear Association

    …UNSCEAR says that apart from increased thyroid cancers, “there is no evidence of a major public health impact attributable to radiation exposure 20 years after the accident.”
    Resettlement of areas from which people were relocated is ongoing. In 2011 Chernobyl was officially declared a tourist attraction.

    And at Hiroshima and Nagasaki since 1945 – World Nuclear Association

    To the 103,000 deaths from the blast or acute radiation exposure at Hiroshima and Nagasaki have since been added those due to radiation induced cancers and leukaemia, which amounted to some 400 within 30 years, and which may ultimately reach about 550. (Some 93,000 exposed survivors were still being monitored 50 years later.) There was an increase in leukaemia beginning about two years later and peaking at four to six years later, and other cancers beginning about ten years later. There was no evident to suggest an increase in leukaemia at less than 500 mSv acute dose. At an acute dose of 100 mSv, an increased cancer risk of 1.05 times normal was calculated. There was concern about ingestion or inhalation of radionuclides, but fires released far higher levels of non-radioactive carcinogens. Teratogenic effects on foetuses was severe among those heavily exposed, resulting in birth deformities and stillbirths over the next nine months. Beyond this, no genetic damage has been detected in survivors’ children, despite careful and continuing investigation by a joint Japanese-US Foundation……

    Both cities were rebuilt soon after the war and have become important industrial centres. The population of Hiroshima has grown to over one million and that of Nagasaki to 440,000. Major industries in Hiroshima today are machinery, automotive (Mazda) and food processing, those in Nagasaki are associated with its international port, particularly Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, now a major nuclear reactor supplier…..

    And you are looking long term and don’t care about people, then yes I could see, for example China getting North Korea to attack or Russia getting Iran to attack or Hillary being idiotic enough to attack Russia.

    Don’t forget that Bill Clinton gave our nuclear weapons technology to China while crippling the USA so we are now not much better than a paper tiger. Chasing the Dragon: Clinton’s China Policy. Obama finished the job by purging the high command of decent officers and leaving the a$$ kissers.
    …………….

    And yeah, I should have checked The World Nuclear Org on Depleted Uranium.

    If the campaign has a full list of Trump’s verbally abusive insults of women with specific examples of specific insults against specific women, if they email details to me I would a nuclear column including a call on leading GOP women to aggressively disown him and a call on major media to aggressively report the facts ‎ in defense of women, and stop giving Trump immunity from acceptable standards of journalism coverage and presidential politics.

    Trump is an abusive sexist Joe McCarthy ready for an Edward R. Murrow and I am ready to go further than any mainstream columnist but would need to be rock solid with facts.

    The problem is the mainstream media still think they are important – they are not!
    Alternate media is almost totally usurped them just like it did with the major newspapers. It just took a bit longer to kill the beast in the broadcast media. Trump is running lots of ads, thousands of them produced by users independently at no cost to him, influencing their friends, doing the work of research teams and guerilla media on their own dime and time.

  158. philjourdan says:

    @Larry – Re: the Polls. The polls are not accurate right now because they do not have to be. They are agenda driven. They want to disillusion the Trump supporters and cause them to not show up at the polls. As we get closer to the election, some will get more accurate as they have reputations to uphold. But others, like the NBC/WSJ will continue to try psychological warfare and hope they create the outcome instead of predicting it.

  169. Gail Combs says:

    Here is the best summary I have found:

    http://archive.is/gy1EQ

    …..Trump has vociferously denied the accusations, dismissing them as fabrications and slamming the lawsuit as a sham designed to smear him as he runs for highest office. Epstein, an associate of the UK’s Prince Andrew who was convicted of underage sex crimes in Florida in 2008, has also denied the allegations.….

    A Guardian investigation this summer found that the lawsuit appeared to have been coordinated by a former producer on the Jerry Springer TV show who has been associated in the past with a range of disputed claims involving celebrities including OJ Simpson and Kurt Cobain. A publicist acting for “Jane Doe” also attempted to sell a video in which the woman describes her allegations against Trump to media outlets at a $1m price tag…..

    The court order gives no details of the legal complaint raised by “Jane Doe”.

    In other words it is a political move by a completely corrupt legal system.

    As I said above, The Judge was appointed by Obama. If Hillary is brought up on charges by a Trump Admin, Obama’s rear is also implicated because HE was emailing to Hillary’s unsecure server.

And its use violates U.S. military law.8 since the U.S. is a signatory to The Hague and Geneva Conventions”

    Gail, you have absolutely no evidence that the DU munitions, used by the US have any harmful nuclear radiative emissions whatsoever!. What you spout id BS.

  177. Larry Ledwick says:

    The real issue with Depleted Uranium penetrator rounds is not the direct radiation from the rounds, it is the secondary effects of soldiers on the battle field inhaling smoke from burning tanks and armor vehicles struck by those rounds. On impact the DU flashes and burns contaminating surfaces with Uranium Oxide dust, The smoke and flames create an aerosol of the uranium oxide mixed with the already toxic smoke from burning rubber, plastics and fuels. No one cares that that happens to the enemy soldiers you are trying to destroy, but friendly troops quickly move in to mop up such operations and are exposed to that smoke and possible direct contamination to surfaces coated with the residue from that smoke. They then unintentionally contaminate themselves by brushing against surfaces and accidentally transferring that contamination to their mouths by eating or drinking (mouth nozzles for camel back water carriers used in Iraq). Keep in mind that in Iraq there were unintended exposure to old chemical weapons residue from destroyed munitions dumps so the effects may also be due to those secondary exposures not the DU weapons residue.

    There is a legitimate secondary contamination control issue that the troops need to be aware of, and was not recognized until recently. Like uranium miners who smoke or eat while contaminated with uranium ore dust, it is mostly a training issue, and the tactical commanders need to be aware of it and not unnecessarily expose troops to burning enemy equipment which was taken out by use of DU weapons systems.

    Over time the UOx contamination gets mixed into the soils and is no more dangerous than rock dust form natural sources like granite here in the Rocky Mountain states.

    None of us knows everything.

    If someone goofs like I did by quoting a misinfo piece, you correct it with evidence and in most cases, sometimes after a bit of argument, we all arrive closer to the truth or sometimes we agree to disagree.

    E.M. has a no ad Hom rule for that reason. Attack the facts and not the person

    Do not forget that most of the ‘official’ news stories are Psy-ops and not the truth. For that reason posting an misinfo piece by mistake, allows us to diffuse the psy-ops bomb embedded in the article. (And that article had a doozy.)

    Please note as soon as I was corrected WITH factual evidence I quickly adjusted my thinking and appologised for my ignorance.

    To get to the point
    Ignorance =/= Stupidity
    Ignorance can be cured by exposure to facts while stupidity goes to the bone.

    Tzar Bomba did not make any measurable change in length of day. That is closely monitored to keep atomic clocks in sync and is mostly due to angular momentum changes of the earth and its atmosphere when the atmosphere expands or contracts due to solar activity, or major earthquakes significantly shift mass (and angular momentum of the earth). If there had been a significant change they would have made time adjustments to UTC get timing back in sync with the atomic clocks.

    OOPs, sorry forgot the rest of the quote:

    …On Friday, The Washington Post published a 2005 video in which Trump bragged to television personality Billy Bush about his ability to get away with sexually assaulting women. [False Statement] In response to hints that tapes of Trump speaking into a hot mic during the filming of his reality show, “The Apprentice,” contained more revelations, both Brock and Allred have pushed for further disclosures. Last weekend, Brock told POLITICO he would pay for the legal defense of anyone who leaked “Apprentice” tapes, and Allred called for them to be released….
    http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/david-brock-gloria-allred-help-women-trump-229728

    Also there are alleged threats

    …. offers come in response to an anonymous Trump campaign official Wednesday night threatening to sue women who accuse Trump of sexual assault. “NYT editors, reporters, politically motivated accusers better lawyer up,” a “high-ranking” campaign official told CNN in response to an avalanche of revelations and allegations about Trump’s behavior toward women….

    Sorry Brock that is Hillary and Bill’s MO, Trump is not sneaky. He is an in your face BULL.

    In the face of such accusations Trump certainly has the right to counter sue. Especially since a false accusation could cost him not only the presidency but also millions in lost business. The Democrats are used to Republicans cowering and running away when they start the mudslinging. They are not used to an Alpha Male who WILL fight back and has the billions to do so.

If wiki is as some alledge a KGB front something that points back to the KGB (or at least appears to) would never have seen the light of day. If Wiki is actually independent of KGB influence this could have all sorts of blow back. This election cycle is starting to resemble a very ugly Fabergé egg.

  208. H.R. says:

    Thanks for the poll link, Larry. I looked but probably missed how they determined a respondent was a ‘likely voter.’

    I suspect that traditional polling methods might not catch the people who normally don’t vote but will vote for Trump this election (e.g. galopingcamel’s comment). Trump has framed his campaign as a ‘movement’ and it may well be. In which case, the polls favoring Hillary are probably way off to the high side. There is no evidence of an enthused, energized mass of Hillary supporters from the lack of yard signs, bumper stickers, and rally attendance although I admit all signs/stickers reports are anecdotal.

  209. Larry Ledwick says:

    That is one of the weaknesses of this polling cycle, is there are a lot of people who have not voted recently so are not on the call lists, but will show up for Trump. A hint of how strong that is can be inferred from his very strong numbers in the primary, plus known democratic cross over and the fact we know phone poll agents are hanging up on folks who say the support trump.

    This election cycle is probably not suitable for the old polling models and might give some very out of ordinary results.

    Trumps rally crowds compared to HRC imply there a lot of those “Ghost voters” who will come out for him that did not show up for Romney etc.

    I take Hillary’s aggressiveness against Trump as an indicator that her internal polls are not looking good so she is going all out to destroy him (his threat to jail her obviously did not help that dynamic any).

If she is not hearing this from others, please feel free to forward this to her, I will play the bad guy here because I do not want her money and because she needs to hear this from her friends and she will sure as hell be attacked for this by her enemies, and it will be megaphoned throughout the media, and foreign donations and paid speeches and hustling gold mining deals by her brother are entirely legitimate issues that are self-created, and must self-corrected before it is too late….and I do not believe the Clintons fully understand the magnitude and immediacy of the danger in the current political and media climate” https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/6900

    I know this email thing isn’t on the level. I’m fully aware of that. But her inability to just do a national interview and communicate genuine feelings of remorse and regret is now, I fear, becoming a character problem (more so than honesty). People hate her arrogant, like her down. It’s a sexist context, but I think it’s the truth. I see no downside in her actually just saying, look, I’m sorry. I think it will take so much air out of this. She always sees herself bending to “their” will when she hands over information, etc. But the way she has to bend here is in the remorse. Not the “if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t do it.” A real feeling of – this decision I made created a mess and I’m sorry I did that. No one thinks she doesn’t have the judgment to be president – she’s not reaffirming a negative characteristic in saying sorry. She needs to do that – I see no way of moving on until October otherwise. Anyway, that’s my advice.

This video was/is prescient in retrospect when you consider the record-breaking volume of primary voters who have turned out to support Donald Trump….

    Comparisons to turnout models in 2012, 2008 etc. have absolutely no value when you consider the scope of the monster vote. The voices discussing election turnout are only comparing the 60 million for Dems, or the 60 million for Republicans.

    No-one is discussing the 100 million, the silent majority, the non-voting bloc, the largest single voting bloc in the United States. However, there are signs the monster vote is active and engaged.

    Visible signs the professional political class would rather you not contemplate.

    Obvious signs.

    Very Visible Signs.

    Records are being broken, but no-one is discussing why. Donald Trump is not just getting republicans, independent and some democrat voters – He’s turning out the monster vote. Venues with 10,000…. 15,000… 20,000,… 30,000,… even 40,000 are being filled in a PRIMARY contest.

    A friggin’ “primary” contest !!

  222. J Martin says:

    In the UK the polls have been getting it wrong for the last few years. Brexit included. I wonder if when a poll declared a healthy lead for one side if there is an effect of leading some of those voters to relax and think they don’t need to go out and vote. So a poll which puts Hillary ahead might cause a significant number of her supporters to think they don’t need to vote but it won’t disillusion Trump’s supporters because they are angry and determined to fight for change. Add in a bunch of people who rarely or haven’t voted before and Trump could win.

  223. Larry Ledwick says:

    Yes notice that the lead is always nearly a tie or 1-2%, to avoid that “Let’s not bother to vote” problem.
    It is teasing the folks who want to be on the winning side to shift in that direction — it is sort of like push polling trying to drive the public towards the result they want.

    It might be worth noting that Uranium miners got years of exposure. A few days on a battle field might not be significant. And then there is all the other goo in the air.

  225. @Larry Ledwick:
    “That is one of the weaknesses of this polling cycle, is there are a lot of people who have not voted recently so are not on the call lists, but will show up for Trump.”

    I live in Brevard county (Florida) and picked up my mail in ballot today. I asked the election staff whether they had a voter turnout estimate. The answer blew my mind!

    Brevard usually has a high voter turnout but this year more ballots have already been cast than the total for 2014. The current forecast is a 93% turnout compared with 59% in 2014. More people turn out for presidential elections so in 2012 the turnout was 82% or 11% lower than the 2016 forecast.

    I think this supports the idea that something is different about this election. Call it the Trump effect……..love him or hate him nobody can accuse him of being boring.

    We are being told that the turnout will be low as both candidates have high “Negatives”. Instead we may see the highest turnout (percentagewise) in decades. Dare I hope the surge voters have already voted for Trump?

    May I suggest that the learned sages who comment here check how the early voting is going in their county? Larry may be onto something important……….how do you spell tsunami?

  226. Jeff says:

    I just hope and pray that that high percentage has nothing to do with the Democrats “vote early, vote often” adage… And I hope and pray indeed that it is indicative of a Trump tsunami…

  227. p.g.sharrow says:

    One of the great things about absentee voting is you can vote early and vote often. A small town in Alaska that I was involved with had more absentee ballots come in then all the people that lived in the town.and the voters that lived there voted on election day in person. But there was no voter fraud……………yeah right. How else can you get 140% turnout?…pg

  230. Gail Combs says:

    I finally found one of Sundance’s articles on the Monster Vote.
    https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/06/09/oh-my-new-york-times-quietly-discusses-data-evidence-of-the-monster-vote/

    …In a rare admission today, the New York Times is walking back over 10 years of prior demographic presentations regarding the U.S. electorate. In essence what they are saying is the voting base is far less ethnically diverse and far more white than historic leftist presentations…

    We would particularly draw your attention to the following:

    Why is that 10 million figure important?

    Back in February 2016, after compiling approximately two years of non quantifiable voter trend and sentiment data, the first four primary races were held: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

    That was the first time we were able to overlay the non quantifiable (data assembly) with the empirical results of four primary contests….

    You might remember we found a jaw-dropping trend that was narrowing toward one possible reasonable conclusion; but we didn’t want to get out in front of our skis, so we asked a professional statistician to review –then summarize– our model.

    Every prediction from that late February analysis has proven accurate. The remaining prediction was this:

    […] In 2008 21.9 million Republicans voted in the primary and 58.1 million voted in the general election (265% increase). In 2012 19.2 million primary -vs- 59.2 million in the general (308% increase).

    If those increases are even remotely maintained given the scope of the current increase in Republican Primary participation, the general election vote would be through the roof.

    And here is where you begin to understand the potential scope of the 2016 primary voter for the Republican nominee, Donald J Trump. This is the bottom line the media and establishment republicans do not want to see discussed. This is the potential for the “Trump Effect”:

    That jaw-dropping number, 7.2 million more potential votes than Barack Obama carried in 2008 and almost 13 million more than Mitt Romney carried in 2012, is the least result achievable when you turn out THE MONSTER VOTE.

    Remember, this same predictive model NAILED the turnout on both the GOP Primary side and the Democrat primary side….

    What the New York Times is statistically beginning to quantify is the existence of The Monster Vote. If you look closely at the data behind their newly discovered 10 million potential/predictable voters, you’ll notice the additional votes carry to exactly what we predicted in February…

    This is why the Hillary camp is panicking and tossing out all the mud and sleaze as rapidly as they can manufacture it. This is why the Media is using Psy-ops like Agenda polling to make people THINK the race is close. The elite CAN’T steal an election with Trump 10 to 20 points ahead. They have to make people believe the race is very close for two reasons:

    1. So the dedicated democratic voters are not discouraged and therefore do not vote.
    2. To cover for the planned election shenanigans.

    On the other hand We, who are part of the insurrection and retaking of our Federal Government have to vote and have to drag as many other people to the polls as possible.

  231. @Gail:
    ” They have to make people believe the race is very close for two reasons:

    1. So the dedicated democratic voters are not discouraged and therefore do not vote.
    2. To cover for the planned election shenanigans.”

    Given that highly Republican districts like Brevard county already have over a 60% turnout with 26 days left it seems that Trump has already motivated his voters.

    It might be even more interesting to check whether the early voting in strongly Democrat districts is above or below 2012.

    Beyond proud of my fellow Miss USA sisters for fearlessly speaking truth despite criticism, ostracizing and the media’s complete fabrication of their statements to satisfy their agendas. Because of this, I have decided to give my own personal account of meeting Mr. Donald Trump in timeline format.
    DISCLAIMER: My experience at Miss USA 2005 has nothing to do with any political affiliation or endorsement. It has nothing to do with alleged victim’s statements from prior years. It is solely my experience from 2005. I hope this provides some clarification.
    ***FEEL FREE TO SHARE THE TRUTH!***

    I competed at Miss USA April 11th, 2005 televised from 9-11pm EST on NBC as Miss Tennessee USA. We were in Baltimore, Maryland for 3 weeks during the festivities. Chelsea Cooley, Miss USA 2005, was present in my dressing room. Also present: Miss Congeniality, Melissa Consin Young; Rachel ‘Saunders’ Imdieke, Miss Kansas; Meaghan Jarensky, Miss New York; Amy Crawford, Miss Washington; Tyler Willis Avary, Miss Texas; Jennifer Pitts, Miss Virginia.

    **6:00pm- delegates released to dressing rooms (2 rooms total) to begin prep for live telecast. We were assigned one of two rooms based on our state title in alphabetical order. My assigned area was directly across from entrance on right hand side between Texas and South Dakota. The organization gave us 2 ½ hours to complete prep.

    **8:20pm- 15 minute warning announced: chaperones, who were present at ALL times, announced Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania, would be briefly visiting the room to greet us. The chaperones instructed us to be completely dressed and appropriate.

    **8:30- 5 minute warning. The chaperones walked along the room to ensure we were appropriate and to offer assistance to anyone should they request.

    **8:35- Last announcement warning: this ensured we were appropriate and dressed. Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania, entered dressing area to say hello just after arriving to the building. Their visit was brief, pleasant, appropriate and 3 minutes maximum. Mr. Trump greeted us and wished us good luck. Melania spoke as well. Not once did he glance, speak or gesture inappropriately in our dressing room. He kept his gaze on Melania during most of the encounter. Chaperones were present at all times. Mr. Trump and his wife then exited to enter the next dressing room.

    **8:45- delegates released from dressing rooms to line up in wings stage right and left.

    **9:00pm-production begins

    It was the weaponization of government against a citizen that pushed us to spend so much time on the Zimmerman case because no-one was willing to go into that scurrilous rabbit hole.

    In 2012 political weaponization was evidenced in the collusion to convict a transparently innocent person, George Zimmerman. Five years later and the weaponization is evidenced in the collusion not to convict a transparently guilty person, Hillary Clinton.

    “In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is…in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ~ Theodore Dalrymple

    As you say the Internet is a great equalizer. One of Trump’s greatest achievements is exposing the lack of objectivity in the “Media”.

    Hillary Clinton = 79
    Donald Trump = 1

  249. Larry Ledwick says:

    Looks to me that the folks who are paying attention to the details and uncontrollable indexes like the number of yard signs and bumper stickers or rally attendance are all coming to the same conclusion that Hillary is really losing badly if there is a high turn out of Republicans and long time no vote crowd the so called “monster vote” of people who usually don’t vote because they see the system rigged and no practical difference between the two major party candidates. That cohort is actually nearly the size of the D and R cohorts combined if you can get it to participate it could easily swing the election hard with a land slide for which ever side it responds to.

    The Pence crowd from Larry’s post above

    Hillary at a ‘captured’ audience of (Black) National Baptists at their national convention where Hillary Clinton was the key note speaker. (September 5-9, 2016 at the Kansas City Convention) The 2016 Democratic Convention will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia July 25th-28th so this is about a month after the nomination.

    “The Kansas City Convention Center was set up in the same manner as the prior days general sessions where almost every seat was full. According to the convention center “This annual meeting typically draws 20,000 or more delegates”.”link

  253. Larry Ledwick says:

    Just an observation.
    Based on the yard sign and bumper sticker index I am pretty sure there is little enthusiasm with Hillary, even in a strongly democratic area. These are communities which tried to pass Fracking prohibitions, and think Green energy is the greatest thing since sliced bread just outside the People’s Republic of Boulder.

    I work at a company with about 180 head count, During Obama’s re-election for his second term about 10 – 15 of them had some sort of pro-Obama bumper sticker. Last Friday I walked the parking lot and there is exactly one car with an HRC sticker on it. I live and work just outside Boulder Colorado, this year I have only seen maybe 2 HRC yard signs. On the roads around Boulder same story seldom see a HRC bumper sticker.

    I just realized in the last few days that there are just a handful of very hard core liberal folks on my facebook page which post pro-Hillary memes, some that I know for a fact are life long democrats (ie worked in the auto industry their entire career and strongly pro union etc.) put up anti-Hillary posts.

    For a while there they were putting up memes from “Occupy Democrats” all the time, but even those posts have dwindled to a slow trickle.

    I also realized that I was treating these posts like trolls and simply ignoring them, and it appears to my biased subjective eye that the same is happening from other commenters. Meme posts that would in the past have gotten 10,000 comments now have 2,300 comments. Posts about Trump only got virtue signaling responses from the folks on the left. The pro Trump folks simply ignored them knowing that to respond was like trying to answer the question “do you still beat your wife”.

    I am also sure that the polls are completely cooked and those showing HRC with a thin but comfortable lead of 2 – 6% really show she is losing by 2%-4% or more. It is my suspicion that the media has over played their hand enough so that many no longer pay any attention to them and the gullible who they can still manipulate think HRC has a thin but reliable lead (ie they have never shown her down more than a razor thin percentage point and she quickly recovered in their polls )

    As a result of all the above, I think the gullible will due to lack of enthusiasm and the apparent solid lead for Hillary be strongly disposed to find something else to do on election day (or they have already sent in an early ballot so no longer care).

    There is also the cohort who are too shy to say they support trump who give a nominal head nod to HRC in conversation but will actually post a vote for Trump.

    In a conversation at work a few days ago several were talking about how horrible the candidates were and one person made the comment that she did not like either candidate much, so will be voting for the Constitution – – (I interpret that as a vote for Trump and traditional interpretation non-activist Supreme Court Justices. but she was not willing to say out loud she would vote for Trump)

    Just for what it is worth. (you get what you pay for and all that)
    I will not be surprised if there is an historic landslide win by Trump just if nothing else as a resounding “screw you” to the establishment power players.

    @Gail:

    That video of the rally is interesting… I’ll have to see if RightSide B. has it in their saved set. They ought to.

    BTW, while YouTube is nice, the TV links here: https://chiefio.wordpress.com/tv/

    Give a lot of nice variety. I’m particularly fond of the RT and Sky and France24 ones as you get a very non-US external view of the USA… the contrast with USA source material just makes the ‘spin’ and ‘propaganda’ bits stand out in stark relief (both ways).

    @Larry:

    Remember Silk Road? It was “taken down” several times only to immediately pop up on another internet feed from another place. I do mean instantly… A sleeper server that gets keepalive pings (i.e. that checks to see if a monitor box says the original is up) and when a NO is found, autoboots the replacement Virtual Machine elsewhere… It was a great ‘whack-a-mole’ game to watch…

    IMHO Wikileaks is at least as smart…

    Georgiafl, points out something I think guys, especially those in the media are completely missing.

    AMERICAN (and European) WOMEN are much more concerned about illegals and Islamists raping them AND THEIR CHILDREN than they are about Donald Trump’s alleged – unproven – unwanted advances!!!! [I will add on adult women, who are ugly as sin…]

    Get real news media.

    Look at the havoc Hillary and Bill have caused and what ABSOLUTE HELL Hillary wants to bring to the USA.

    https://twitter.com/AmyMek/status/786768361736765441

    Don’t forget Obama is seeding these Rape-ugees in small towns across the nation. Hillary wants 550 times as many brought in even though she admits in the leaked emails we can not determine whether or not they are terrorists.

    James Dellingpole certainly backs up the Islamic rape culture in the UK HERE and in several other articles. We have also seen it happening in the USA with the same type of government cover-up. (Parents threatened)

    President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s War On Little Girls

    And a newer one, this time an illegal.

    WHAT is with these people raping babies?

    I agree with Georgiafl when she then adds:

    I dearly hope Donald Trump finds Lorena Bobbitt to head his new National Department of Surgical Treatment for Rapists.

  267. Larry Ledwick says:

    I agree I am sure wikileaks has anticipated this for a long time, also I would not be at all surprised if Anonymous goes all in to crush folks who got fingered by wikileaks if they get pulled down completely as I am confident that there is considerable bleed over between wikileaks and Anonymous membership and they will see this sort of action as a declaration of war against open internet access and information flow.

    The administration (assuming they are the government actor here) may be starting a fight they can’t win.

  268. Gail Combs says:

    Larry,

    My thoughts exactly.

    The younger set, under age 50, grew-up with computers and since ~1990 were used to having internet access of one sort or another. You are talking around 50% or more of the US population being between 15 and 50. These are the people Kerry is ticking-off, 150 million Americans many with really good hacking skills. NOT SMART

    As the Trump crowd showed, they are NOT happy with the MSM or the collusion between the DNC and the MSM. Kerry just tossed a tanker load of gasoline on that ‘cold anger’

    (In 2001, 21% of the USA pop were under 15 and 13% over 65.)

    Facebook is gaslighting the public.

    georgiafl says:
    Strange goings on – Donald Trump’s Facebook has not gained in the last couple of hours, but suddenly has started losing over the last hour or two. Facebook had started increasing more rapidly than normal over the last couple of days. Do you think the Clinton trolls are doing this to make it appear that Trump is losing support?
    Zuckerberg could also be doing this.

    Instagram and Twitter are increasing as usual.

    Bull Durham replies

    The new meme from the day’s polls at Fox. He’s losing support. 4%. So, they will “adjust his numbers” at FB. You don’t think FB, Zuckerbug and the NSA/CIA/Obama folks can’t do anything they want with content on that platform do you? They do it. It’s simple code on the backend. Of course they can. They are pulling Facial Recognition data from everyone’s photos of Grandma and babies. Why do you think FB, Google and NSA have global data centers that can store images of every grain of sand on the planet?

    Wake up, folks! FB and Twitter and Youtube and all your Search items are government property. You just didn’t know. And they can place stuff on your pages without you knowing, just incase they need to “find evidence” when they need to.

    It’s worse than East Germany and Stasi. Marcus Wolf would be in ecstasy with the tools of these social platforms.

    And watch out for Amazon. They have the CIA contract for Cloud Computing. Amazon is the most sophisticated software company on Earth, totally in bed with Tyranny.

    E.M. Larry? How much of the rest that is not bold is Tinfoil hat stuff?

    And another reply from Duke Taber

    I can confirm that FB does indeed strip followers away at times. I had it done to my FB page of 155k twice. Both times they said it was just because of housecleaning of fake and inactive accounts. I didn’t buy it.

    It seems that the Cincinnati rally and the crowd booing the media (see “Seems Trump supporters have had enough of Media Lies and collusion” up thread) really got to the media and they are now reacting.

    wolfmoon1776 says:
    …….I think this giant rally in Ohio really scares the bejeezus out of them.

    Take a look at this CNN jouno’s feed on Twitter. They are panicking, and basically going Full Godwin on us. One journo suggests we need a “massive campaign of media literacy” – which I hear is also known as reeducation. Others are grasping at the antisemitism straw – hard. All of them are acting like it’s the end of the world, and that press freedom is threatened by Trump.

    Oh, noes!

    Here is the panic post that’s drawing out the moonbat press.

    I feel like sending him a copy of “The Turner Diaries” with a picture of Pepe and the inscription “Best Election Ever”. I know that’s mean, but these jerks who pretend to be journalists stole our free press. They deserve a bit of self-awareness. If they’re going to have irrational fears anyway, we might as well help them out.

    Brian Stelter is the senior media correspondent for CNN and the host of Reliable Sources. Previously he was a media reporter for The New York Times and the editor of TVNewservice.

    This is another email from the oddball Orca100. However this time it is very very good with a compilation of quotes and videos to support his narrative.

    The fact that Podesta received this email detailing the horror show in Europe means he, and by extension Hillary have ZERO plausible denaibility.

    Multikultistan: A house of horrors for ordinary Germans

  274. Larry Ledwick says:

    The story told by that email is so tragic and because western media is incompetent or complicit the reality of European multiculturalism is not getting out in a timely manner. Germany, France Sweden, etc will pay an awful price to clean up this mess. Because of the inability of the governments to face the facts I fear the problem will be solved (or at least confronted) by mobs in the street and a civil war between ethnic groups in those countries. We will see a return to the massive religious wars of historic Europe and a new 50 – 100 years war for the 21st century.

    This may be a secondary issue in Putin’s behavior, I suspect he sees that in a few years maybe a decade or two, he will have a hostile Islamic hoard on his doorstep to the west. It is entirely conceivable that in time Russia will be the European savior for countries like Poland who don’t want to be enveloped and swallowed by the Islamic amoeba of multiculturalism.

    An interesting article on Trump and this election – free speech and political correctness.

    @Larry and Gail: It is not unusual in north Germany (NRW, Berlin, Hamburg, Köln, for the most part) for the police to make a traffic stop, or an inquiry visit, and be surrounded in short order by tens, if not HUNDREDS of angry “family” members. (I’m searching for a non-German article about this – have lots of German ones).

    Lebanese clans basically run Berlin and Hamburg, divvying up the various rackets (drugs, prostitution, petty and grand theft, fencing, etc.) between the various “tribes” and the Rockers (Hells’ Angels, Bandidos, etc.). It is actually a long-standing problem that has been more-or-less ignored and concealed by politicians and overburdened/underbudgeted police authorities that the added influx of young, violent Moslems has exacerbated.

    The various “Gastarbeitern” that Germany brought in during the Wirtschaftswunder to fill the roles of the missing men (from WWII) have all integrated (Italian, Greek, Turkish, Spanish, Portugese, and some Asian) with the glaring exception of the Turks, who, even four generations on, remain self-isolated. The operative word here being self, as others have reached out to them, but their culture and religion forbid them to assimilate.

    I live in a small town (14K residents or so) in south Germany, which, until a few years ago was a typical German town. Now, since all towns have to take a quote of “refugees”, the whole character of the city has changed, even to the point that in the grocery stores pork and beef (and “gemisched”) products are segregated, and “Halal” products are appearing, and in some cases featured on the shelves. Funny that Kosher never got such attention.

    Shopping after 17:00 or so has become hit or miss, almost like being at a bazaar, as the displays in the stores are jumbled after this point, and I’m often the only one of European heritage shopping at that hour (nightowl here – “Jeff-lag”). The mom-and-pop shops that dotted our admittedly small market-street are being replaced one-by-one with Turkish or Moroccan or other non-German shops, even Shisha-Bars, with even the Italian Pizzerias being forced out by Kebap shops.

    Some of the families (including my wife’s) have been in this town or area over 1000 years, and they’ve never seen anything like this. It really is a lot worse than Merkel &co. would have anyone believe, nor than what the main-scream-media would report. The AfD, UKIP, FPÖ,
    and Le Pen are gaining support because of this, and here in Germany, the AfD is now the third-strongest party, ahead of the Greens, “Die Linke”, the FDP, and a host of other, smaller parties.
    Interesting times, indeed.

  277. @Larry That’s a quite damning story. Hope it at least goes viral in the Twitter-verse. Not holding my breath wrt msm.

  278. Larry Ledwick says:

    EM you may want to grab images of some of these files, this is exactly what you and I were suspecting would happen.

  279. Gail Combs says:

    I notice in that National Review article that Jeremy Carl took it as given that Trump was a horrible nasty person who eats babies for breakfast.

    He never sees the Trump who while out on the Town in NYC had his cab stop so he could prevent a thug from beating someone to death or the Trump who sent his own plane to carry a very ill jewish boy from CA to NY to see a specialist. He doesn’t see the guy, who while his companies were going through chapter 11, had to be put on a budget of no more that $100,000? a week to be given away directly by him by his accountant.

    THIS man, this generous man is the one who decided to put himself in the cross-hairs. Make no mistake he knew he would be the target of slander abuse and possibly bankruptcy and assassination but he did it anyway. His son said Obama’s Iraq deal was the final straw BTW.

  280. Larry Ledwick says:

    EM it might be about time to consider an “Hillary Wikileaks & Trump “issues” Collection part2” thread this one is loading/refreshing kind of slow for me.

  281. Larry Ledwick says:

    @Gail — E.M. Larry? How much of the rest that is not bold is Tinfoil hat stuff?

    It is pretty much all technically possible. The question is how far do those actors think they can go before the destroy the credibility of their product. Also how much money do they want to burn on code development to allow efficient directed manipulation of user posts. Depending on their code architecture it could be trivial or a major overhaul which could produce unintended secondary effects which would out the project.

    We are currently seeing this in the media as more and more folks are closely watching what they put up and do not put up, and catch edits and changes in articles almost in real time.

    Although transparent to the casual user that sort of manipulation always leaves some sort of tracks behind which knowledgeable people can monitor. We already have cases of random posts and tweets simply disappearing and viewer counts suddenly decreasing on controversial videos.

    I’d love to grab a copy via torrent, but don’t have the ability (i.e. time) until this evening. On the road and with other obligations.

    Anyone want to find / publish the link to do the actual download?

    As per a “Part 2” Yeah, wanted to do it last Friday but “life happens”… I’ve got a few minutes now so …
